Scooter Gennett went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored in an extra-inning loss to the Pirates on Wednesday.

He took starter Chad Kuhl over the wall in the sixth inning as the Reds began their climb out of a four-run hole. The second baseman also walked twice in the long contest. He has an excellent .328/.368/.544 slash line with nine homers and 34 RBI. He's hit seven of those longballs in the last two weeks. He is following up his 2017 breakout with another strong season at the plate and could be an attractive trade chip this summer for the rebuilding Reds. May 24 - 12:29 AM

Scooter Gennett smashed a grand slam and drove in six runs in the Reds' win over the Pirates on Tuesday.

Scooter Gennett went 3-for-5 with a run scored on Saturday in a win over the Dodgers on Saturday.

Gennett now has seven hits over his last two games. The second baseman now has his season average up to .329, and his slugging percentage of .521 on the season shows he's making lots of hard contact. Gennett is red-hot with the bat, and we've seen him go on these kinds of streaks before. Ride the wave if you have him on your fantasy roster.

Scooter Gennett went 4-for-5 with a homer and three RBI as the Reds beat the Dodgers 6-2 on Friday.

Is it 2017 again? Gennett has now homered in four straight games after homering in just one of his first 34 games (though he did hit two in that one). The stretch has been potent enough to up his OPS from .726 to .878, so any chance of him being replaced by Nick Senzel in the near future is gone.

Scooter Gennett went 3-for-4 with a two-run double, a solo home run and three total RBI in Thursday's win over the Dodgers.

Gennett helped the road team to a 2-1 advantage via his two-run double in the sixth inning and later capped off the game's scoring with a solo home run in the eighth inning. This season, the second baseman is slashing a sturdy .301/.345/.485 with five home runs and 21 RBI over the course of 136 at-bats. He's now homered in three consecutive contests and has picked up six total extra-base hits over his last four games.

Scooter Gennett is out of the Reds' starting lineup on Wednesday afternoon against the Mets.

It looks to be a mostly-routine day of rest for Gennett, who has battled a right shoulder issue off and on this season. Alex Blandino will start at second base and bat sixth versus Mets right-hander Zack Wheeler.

Scooter Gennett homered and doubled in a losing cause Monday against the Mets.

The homer was Gennett's third of the year; his previous two came in the same game two weeks ago against the Braves. With Nick Senzel playing second in Triple-A, Gennett needs to step it up in order to remain a regular all year long.

Scooter Gennett (shoulder) was hitless in three plate appearances in his return to action Saturday.

Gennett had been limited to pinch-hitting over the last few days because of a sore right shoulder. We could see Nick Senzel if Gennett's shoulder issue flares up again, but for now it appears Gennett is ready to go.

Scooter Gennett (shoulder) struck out as a pinch hitter in Friday's victory over the Marlins.

The good news, is that he made it through that at-bat without any difficulty and remains on track to rejoin the Reds' starting lineup on Saturday. The hard-hitting second baseman is hitting .291/.336/.402 with a pair of homers and 14 RBI on the season.

Scooter Gennett (shoulder) expects to be back in the Reds' lineup Saturday.

Gennett hasn't started since Sunday because of a sore right shoulder, but he's pinch-hit three times this week and went through a full pregame workout Friday. The Reds' second baseman is sporting a .293/.339/.405 batting line with two home runs and 14 RBI this season.

Scooter Gennett (shoulder) grounded out as a pinch-hitter on Wednesday against the Brewers.

Gennett has now pinch-hit in back-to-back games, so it'd seem likely that he will be able to return to the Reds' starting lineup for Friday night's series opener against the Marlins. Alex Blandino played second base for the Reds in Wednesday's loss to Milwaukee.

Scooter Gennett (shoulder) is out of the Reds' starting lineup again on Wednesday against the Brewers.

Gennett is still working through some right shoulder discomfort, but an MRI taken Monday showed no structural damage and he was able to pinch-hit on Tuesday night. Alex Blandino is starting at second base and batting seventh for the Reds on Wednesday versus Brewers left-hander Wade Miley.

Anthony DeSclafani will make a rehab start on Friday for Triple-A Louisville.

DeSclafani is getting close to appearing in his first big league game since 2016. It'll be the third rehab start for the right-hander, and if things go well for him in his International League debut, we could see Desclafani join the pitching staff before the end of the month.

Reds placed RHP Raisel Iglesias on the 10-day disabled list with a strained left biceps.

The good news is that it's his non-throwing arm, but the exact timetable for his return is unclear at the moment. Iglesias hasn't pitched since May 19, when he gave up two runs and blew a save against the Cubs. On the season, Iglesias owns a 2.08 ERA with seven saves along with 27 strikeouts over 21 2/3 innings in 20 appearances. Amir Garrett, David Hernandez, Jared Hughes, Michael Lorenzen, and Wandy Peralta are among the possible fill-ins for fantasy owners.

Reds placed RHP Austin Brice on the 10-day disabled list with a mid back strain.

Brice joins closer Raisel Iglesias on the disabled list, and the Reds are calling up Tanner Rainey and activating Michael Lorenzen from the DL to replace them. Brice has appeared in 21 games this year; posting a 4.68 ERA and striking out 26 hitters over 25 innings out of the Cincinnati bullpen.
